Thank dhlunicorn, she has the link here in several posts, its a study a guy named Dr. Harrison has done on crossbeak, and he found it to help in several parrots he tried it with.
Good luck.
aha, here is a post straight from dhlunicorn, she is a fount of knowledge, so this is from one of her posts. Thanks, diana for all your help to all of us regarding these things.
and in addition I have found this:

"Use of Penetran for Beak Malocclusion Greg J. Harrison, DVM Dipl. ABVP Avian"
(excerpt)
Topical application of Penetran is effective for avian skin rashes, local irritations and ulcerations. It can be mixed with aloe vera liquid for generalized dermatologic conditions. Because it has penetrating properties, I have used it to treat some deeper muscular problems. In two cases of a serious beak malocclusion with underbite, the only therapy was application of Penetran to the facial muscles including the periopthalmic areas. In a ten-day-old cockatoo, the muscles relaxed and the beak returned to normal positioning overnight; a full week of Penetran application and prolonged periods of manual positioning of the beak were also successful in a four-week-old cockatoo.Penetran is a commercially available ammonium solution from TransDermal Technologies, Inc.
(800-676-7354)."
Good luck.
